SNB - May 2012

Wollongong Stitch N Bitch will be held on Saturday 26 May at Collegians, Flinders Street, Wollongong. There have been discussions regarding the venue and some want it changed back to the Novotel and others prefer Collegians. A decision has been made and due to accessibility we will be meeting at Collegians each month. Apparently a few went to the Novotel for SNB in April as the majority of knitters were at the annual knitters retreat. The Novotel brought out a tray of small pastries for the knitters as they had noticed we hadn't been attending there since January. That was a very nice jester on the Novotel's part. As said before Collegians has been refurbished, is a very nice club, has some very nice and different areas to sit and knit, the meals are reasonable as too is the cafe bar for coffee, tea, cakes etc. We meet in the area behind the bar next to the exit to the outside area. Some knitters come along early and have lunch, it just depends on the individual and what you are doing on that day. I hope to see you all at Collegians on Saturday 26 May.

SNB April - CHANGE OF VENUE FOR APRIL

What a great SNB we had on Saturday 31 March, only a small group this month, we had some great conversations and laughs. The people there brought up the fact that we have changed to Collegians Club instead of the Novotel, with some saying they won’t be attending anymore if it is at Collegians. The reason being that they like the atmosphere at the Novotel better. They weren’t concerned about the price of afternoon tea etc, in fact they like the idea that your coffee/tea and cake were delivered to you at your table. Parking is much easier at Collegians and there is always plenty of parking, no driving around the block a few times to get a parking space. On the other side of things, some don’t want to go to the Novotel and prefer Collegians. In the past we have had changes to our venue and it has always been good wherever we meet. Seeing as the Knitting Camp will be on the same weekend as SNB in April, the people who are not going to camp who were at SNB in March decided that they will meet at the Novotel on 28 April. In May we will return to Collegians as everyone knows it is being held there and we can discuss our options. Any and all thoughts are most appreciated.

January 2012 a new year and a new venue

Wollongong Stitch N Bitch has decided to move to a new venue from January 2012.

It will now be held at Collegians (Collies) Club, Flinders Street Wollongong.

It is an easy venue to get to by own transport or public transport, it has very good parking areas.

Collies has a nice coffee shop with really nice cakes, slices, muffins, sandwiches etc and a very reasonably priced bistro for meals.

Nothing else changes, the time is still 2pm - 5pm. Some always get there earlier and now there is lunch available some may even go for that too.

We will be sitting at the area behind the bar, near the outdoor area which has two sets of doors to go through, so no more smoke wandering in.

I was hoping to make it to SNB this month but I have been invited to my cousin's daughter's Bridal Shower. (I didn't know people still had these, I knew it as a Kitchen Tea many years back)

I hope everyone has a great day knitting and you enjoy the new venue.
